The document describes the process of designing a magazine contents page layout. The designer started with a black background and added a blue-tinted photo in the top corner to follow a magazine style. White bars and text boxes were added, with the text in different colors and fonts. Blue lines were added above and below titles for emphasis. The same techniques were used for subtitles along the right side. Photos and page numbers were finally included to add detail. The final layout replaced the initial photos with more appropriate close-up and group shots.

2. I started off with a black plain
background so I could build up my
contents page on something
plain. Also I started off with a
black background because I want
my colour scheme to be simple
but bold colours.

3. I then added a photo which I
edited by making the lighting of
the photo slightly more blue. I
placed it in the top corner as I
was following the layout of a
kerrang magazine contents page.

4. I then added a plain white bar at the top where I could
put my text. I did this by opening a new page and using
the quick selection tool to create the shape I needed.
This is what it came out like.

5. I then added my text, the bit of
my text was black. The second
section of my text was dark
grey. This is to show the
difference between two
different titles. The font I used
was called minion pro.

6. I then decided that the title
was looking quite plain so I
added two blue lines, one
at the top of the title and
one at the bottom. I did
this by using a text box and
by typing the symbol -.

7. By using the same technique I used for the title, I used for the sub-
titles. I made a slightly smaller shape in the colour blue and placed
it down the right hand side.
This is what it turned out like.

8. I then started adding text on top of the
text in the font, minion pro and the
colour white.

9. I used the same technique for each
sub- title and added text underneath
them in the same font, but I used the
colours white and yellow.

10. I then added a picture of the famous
punk band Paramore under the picture I
took of Angie.

11. Finally I added page numbers
onto my photos to add more
detail to my contents page.

12. As you can see from this
screen shot I changed my
two photos, this is because
I used one of the photos as
a photo on my double page
spread and the other
wasn’t my own
photography. So I chose to
take a close-up of ‘Angie’
and a group photo of my
three friends.
And this is my final
product.
